Just a quick note. I've had a number of people comment about the end where I use the same treatment on the bird's back as I do the background. It's a little heavy handed, but please keep in mind that this was originally slated as part of a larger project and, at this point, I hadn't discussed making yet. I wanted to keep it simple and intended to go into more detail later on in the program. <br><br>That said, ideally in this scenario I would add the brush adjustment to the mask BUT I would lower the opacity of the brush so the bird got less of the effect and retained a little more detail. A point I was going to make later on in the series :)

You did not exaggerate. This is a true Masterclass. Complete, credible, useful, no time wasted. Your video answers many questions about denoise/sharpening and teaches how to do so professionally constantly and easily. Thank you!

Be happy to pay for your 100 hour version. Clearly there is more to be learned… just try to keep it to 99 hours. Seriously though, if there is more to be learned, would be happy to support it, as all of your courses on BCG have been money well spent.
